<p>[QUOTE="Marko, post: 391780, member: 210"]Evelyb, I want to restring several pieces, but I don't want to use the wire that is in every craft store, I want to use thread like they did in the old days- unfortunately, the old threads dry rot and break. The beads lay completely different using the old-fashioned way with thread. What are the best threads to use, and do the still sell the old-fashioned findings that you would tie a knot in the end of the metal "ball"? Does silk thread work well? Where do you get your stringing threads? Thanks.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
